iunderstan: February 2013

http://iunderstan.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, February 19, 2013. Marsha Ambrosius at World Live Cafe 2013. I dashed out to see my girl Marsha perform last night. I wanted to leave my camera at home and just lenjoy the performance, but I couldn't! Plus it was another opportunity for me to test out the Sigma lens in low light, since flash photography wasn't allowed. Funny thing was, everybody had a camera phone using flash, but real photogs couldn't? She rocked the show with her usual energy, improv, comedy, realness, and talent. Take a Super...

iunderstan: Music: The Internet

http://iunderstan.blogspot.com/2014/04/music-internet.html

Tuesday, April 29, 2014. When I find new music I like I get so excited! I everything is so "me-too" on the radio, same producers making the same sounding songs, that when I can hear something new to my ears, it its literally orgasmic. Such a thing happened a few months ago when I was up watching Carson Daly. And he featured this group called The Internet. Which was an r&b offshoot of the rap collective Odd Future. Made up of female Syd Tha Kid. I haven't been this excited since I found Robert Glasper.

iunderstan: Super Heroes and their Part Time Jobs

http://iunderstan.blogspot.com/2014/01/super-heroes-and-their-part-time-jobs.html

Monday, January 13, 2014. Super Heroes and their Part Time Jobs. I love it when creative people do what they want to do and just let their imagination run wild. If super heroes had part-time jobs, what would they do? They might each go into something they are uniquely suited for. Artist Chow Hon Lam. Took that idea and ran with it in his series of illustrations called Part Time Job. And the funniest one. Monday, January 13, 2014. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). John Schneider: Raw Emotions.

iunderstan: John Schneider: Raw Emotions

http://iunderstan.blogspot.com/2014/01/i-was-amazed-and-touched-by-this-story.html

Wednesday, January 29, 2014. John Schneider: Raw Emotions. I was amazed and touched by this story of actor John Schneider. And how he chose to have his honest emotions captured by photographer Jeremy Cowart,. After his official photo shoot for the OWN. Network soap opera show The Haves and Have Nots. Read about how he went from these official photos. To these painful expressions,without acting. His father had passed away that very same day, so he chose to have his emotions photographed. Kiss my black ads.

iunderstan: Vogue Netherlands - Basquiat Inspired Beauty Shoot

http://iunderstan.blogspot.com/2014/03/vogue-netherlands-basquiat-inspired.html

Friday, March 7, 2014. Vogue Netherlands - Basquiat Inspired Beauty Shoot. Imagery based on the famous artist Jean-Michel Basquiat,. Shot by Erwin Olaf. Make up done by Topolino. I had to familiarize myself with his original work and look at his style and use of color so I could "get it". The portrait is dead on! Why does it seem like the European versions of fashion magazines seem to feature more people of color? Which is strange, considering the constant debate over the inclusion of people of color.

iunderstan: August 2013

http://iunderstan.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 30, 2013. My Lens - Bridgit Silva Shoot 2013. I've been wanting to shoot with Bridgit. Since I met her a couple years ago at a fashion show. I connected again with her when I was assisting another photog, Kory. On a shoot with him. Since she ran track for her college, I wanted to do something with her amazing legs, and the numerous shoes she owned. The concept was to show her fancy shoes off as if they were featured in a magazine ad or catalog. To give her a look that enhanced her features.

Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Ok this summer really sped up, and so did my work schedule, lack of sleep and chaos. Sorry for no posts! Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Thursday, July 18, 2013. My First Studio - Soup Factory Studios. Actually, this is my second because my first studio was my living room, and although I did good work there, I needed an actual studio with space and availability beyond sneaking around my family, plus not bringing strangers to my home. I decided to join Soup Factory Studios. Semantics P...
